Being able to make stuff
up for a living. If I was in any other job I’d get the sack for lying!

What’s the worst thing about being a
writer?

I can’t think of a single
thing.

Tell us more about your books.

I write an eclectic mix of
genres from YA and middle grade to chick lit, new adult romance, cozy
mysteries, and psychological thrillers. I love writing about inspirational
journeys, overcoming pain and trauma, and tackling women’s issues that don’t
get spoken about enough.

I’m the
author of No. 1 Bestseller Look Behind
You. My Amber Fox Mysteries and romantic comedies Fourteen Days Later and The
Baby Trap are International Bestsellers on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and
iBooks.

My work has also been shortlisted for the Harry
Bowling Prize 2008, Highly Commended by the Yeovil Literary Prize 2009, Runner
Up in the Chapter One Promotions Novel Comp 2009, nominated Best Novel with
Romantic Elements in 2010 by The Romance Reviews, Runner Up in the Best Indie
Books of 2012 by Indie Book Bargains, Winner of Best Children's Book by
eFestival of Words 2013, and Winner of Crime, Thrillers & Mystery | Book
from a series in the SpaSpa Book Awards 2013. My novella Trafficked: The Diary
of a Sex Slave has been listed as one of the Top 40 Books About Human Rights by
Accredited Online Colleges.

Tell us something interesting about your
main character.

Jazz has
many problems: the loss of her mother in a fatal car accident and the horrific
scars which deface both her body and spirit. Jazz also blames herself for her
mother's death, and she has sunk into a deep depression. Her journey leads her
though conflict, controversy, drama, heroism, and life altering
events, which all come together to bring in a suspenseful love story. Love for
a leopard, love for wild animals, love for the environment, and ultimately love
for oneself.

I’m giving away copies of
my inspirational, coming of age novel The
See-Through Leopard for the YA Spring Fling!

Most sixteen-year-old girls are obsessed with
their looks, but Jazz Hooper's obsessed for a different reason. After a car
accident that kills her mum, Jazz is left with severe facial scars and retreats
into a dark depression.

Fearing what will happen if Jazz doesn't
recover, her dad makes a drastic decision to move them from England to a game reserve in Kenya for a new
start. And when Jazz finds an orphaned leopard cub, it sets off a chain of
events that lead her on a two year journey of discovery, healing, and love.

"A percentage
of the royalties from the sale of this book will be contributed to Panthera, a
leading international conservation organization dedicated to protecting and
preserving the world's big cats, plus other wildlife conservation groups."
-- Sibel Hodge, Author

Are there any books involved in the YA
Spring Fling that you’re secretly lusting after?

Too many to mention!

What was the last YA book you read?

The Fault in our
Stars by John Green.

What are your top tips for surviving a bad
review?

Lots of wine! No,
seriously, not everyone is going to like your work. Even mega bestsellers get
bad reviews so it’s natural. If there’s something constructive that gels with
you, then that’s great, if not, just be pleased someone has taken the time to
read your book, even if it wasn’t for them.

What are your top tips for surviving a
zombie apocalypse?

Can I choose
